What? Why?

Beans on toast, beans on cornbread, beans on tortillas, beans on rice.

Folks been cooking beans and putting them on carb slabs all over the world. Canned beans ain't a bad thing. To the contrary, canned beans can be better, depending on the quality, type of beans, cooking skills, etc.

Ain't no shame in the beans on carbs game.

Why?

Did you click on the link? I guess OP is ashamed because no such article exists yet. 😉

It's good lunch

Or are you ashamed there's no article on it? I feel like it's pretty self-explanatory

[–] fakeman_pretendname 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The basics are pretty self-explanatory to Britons, but:

Which type of beans is it?
Does it have to have a tomato sauce?
Did you know you can put melted cheese on it?
Did you know that beans were good for your heart, but the more you eat, the more you fart?
How many servings are made per year?
If you put all those servings end-to-end, how far would it go?
Okay, but what's that in double-decker buses or olympic swimming pools?
Does anyone outside the UK eat it, or similar meals?
Who invented it? Where?
Did you know that in London, they don't have bread, so they have beans on eels instead? (citation needed)

Plenty of info/questions/facts to be found.

You're just three avatars in a trenchcoat.

Beans on toast?

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It does feel like an oversight, considering we have the toast sandwich on there
